1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundHappiness is a concept in positive psychology. Studies have shown links between happiness, courses of diseases and health. In dermatology the role of happiness has not yet been sufficiently investigated. RESEARCH QUESTION: What impact do skin diseases have on individual happiness and what contribution can happiness make to holistic dermatological care? MATERIAL AND

methodsProcessing of the current literature for a selective overview of primary scientific studies on happiness based on heuristic happiness and subjective well-being measured by positive and negative affects as well as satisfaction with life in dermatology.

resultsPatients with skin diseases show significant impairments in happiness, especially in the positive affect and satisfaction with life compared to the healthy population. The impairments appear to be expressed differently for different dermatoses; for example, patients with skin cancer show significantly higher life satisfaction than other dermatological patients. Influencing factors vary in their strength and direction depending on the operationalization of happiness and the skin disease. DISCUSSION: Dermatological diseases appear to be associated with impairments in happiness, particularly in the positive affect. Integrating happiness into dermatological care could help to have a better understanding of patients' individual needs in the context of holistic, person-centered healthcare. Future research and specific interventions to improve happiness should be developed to promote positive health outcomes.
